You will receive full/exclusive rights to your commissioned image AND the original painting. 

(Exclusive rights mean that you can do anything you want with the image.)

My customary charge is $55 per hour. 

I ask for an initial down payment of $333 and equal installments at the completion of each phase.

Prior to beginning the painting, we would together co-create a simple contract, clearly stating all aspects of our agreement. The contract would include a timeline.

For a Full Color Image

18 x 18 (approximate size) acrylic painting on canvas 

35 to 50 hours total

cost range $1925 to $2750 

(hours required depend on the complexity of the image)

The Four Phases of Creating a Commission Painting

1. VISION and DREAM (apprx 7 -10 hours)

         *Discuss & share ideas via email and phone, and possibly in-person.

         *Several rough, small  'thumbnail' sketches to be developed as our exploration continues

              (I email these to you).

         *(if needed) Research various detail imagery to be used in the painting

              (ex: specific foods, trees, plants, symbols, etc.).

2. FINAL DRAWING and COLOR PALETTE (apprx 5 -10 hours)

         *Choose one thumbnail sketch and create the final 'to size' drawing (email you small copy for approval).

         *Decide upon colors (email you color samples for approval).

3. PAINT (apprx 5 to 25 hours)

         *Create the finished painting

         *Varnish the painting (for protection)

4. SCAN and SEND (apprx 3 - 5 hours)

         *OPTIONAL -I bring painting to be professionally scanned (a separate cost - apprx $30 to $60 depending                on image size). This high quality digital scan will be what your graphic designer works with for all                      printing of images - website / brochures / T-Shirts/ etc.

         You may choose to create the scan yourself, though I like to create one before the painting is shipped...               just in case something happens enroute!

         *Pack and ship painting. (shipping charges extra - I always ship safely and as reasonably as possible).                 Also possible for client to pick up their painting from my home or to meet in Eugene.
